Is there any reason to think the flyers would be interested in paying him? Tim Thomas hasn't made a super vast fortune by NHL standards so I have to think he'll basically go to the high bidder at the end of the day. Would it make sense Tampa to try 5-6 million for a year and hope he's still on top of his game?
(I say Tampa just because the are 26th in goals against and 3rd in offense so maybe Thomas could make a big difference )
